Обсуждение: Create View
I don't know whether this is a simple one that has been dealt with before, but if so, I haven't worked out the right question to search on.
If I create a view thus:
create view things as select * from whatever;
and then examine my saved view, I find a list of all of the fields from whatever. I thought it should be possible to save the star (*) as part of the view. Otherwise, I run into the problem of not getting all of the fields if I add columns to the table (whatever).
Is this an SQL thing or a PostGreSQL thing?
Thanks,
Mark
